REPORT: Steve Reed reports "the Panthers are still interested in" Jimmy Garoppolo


Recommended Posts

Bye bye 2023 draft picks.

 

Honestly, say what you will about the decision to go after Baker/Jimmy G but waiting until after the draft to chase them is a smarter move. Price is likely to drop as there will be less overall interest. The only way it could go up is a rash of QB TC injuries.

Just leave the damn picks alone. Rhule already chose his qb and was allowed to give up enough for him. Plus you got him a rookie. Demand results with that.

Course if you’re already just giving him 5/6 years like some sort of idiot I guess it doesn’t matter.

Hmm, I think what's going on here is the Panthers are about the only team with the cap space and the media is putting two and two together. If *we* aren't interested, there aren't many other options to take those contracts. If we aren't interested, there is no story.

I do think Fitt is fueling this though, anonymously. If someone asks him if we are interested in such and such player, his answer will ALWAYS be something to the effect of "never say never" which, to the media, means enthusiastically YES, if it fits the narrative they are wanting to discuss.

His salary is not guaranteed. SF can cut him and save $24M. Why in the world would they give us a 2nd to take on the salary when they can cut him and keep their 2nd?

Nothing is gonna happen until he can prove that he can throw in training camp, and then it's gonna be too late for any team to want to trade for him as a day 1 starter not knowing the new teams playbook. I think they keep him, maybe cut him if Trey Lance is obviously ready during preseason. Sucks for Jimmy but he decided on the surgery kind late and they're giving him the opportunity to be traded, just no ones biting unless Rhule throws a hissy fit. Don't think Rhule has that kinda leverage anymore though

He's in the Cam situation post surgery. How come his shoulder isn't shot? Maybe that's why nobody else came knocking and they're trying to fool the dopey Panthers into shooting themselves in the foot.

    • Any QB worth his weight in gold is going to get his guys the ball. Of course he has to have the protection, coaching and experience to do that. Moreover, it has yet to be determined what type of situation this is for a rookie wideout. The most important thing that will determine that is coaching.
    • I watched it this afternoon and I thought some of the best discussions was before it even got to the players. One thing that really jumped out to me was when Smitty was asked about how things have changed since he played and the thing he talked about was how when he played and going back to Jerry Rice says, the #1 targeted or looked to receiver was always the X and there's still a lot of people who's minds are still stuck in that idea. But what has happened is that the, what he calls, the F receiver...the flanker...is now the go to guy. You need the X to try and get safeties out of the box, but the QB is now looking for his flanker most of the time. Lots of good discussions all through it, but for some reason the ones involving Ladd, Corley, and Leggette was the most interesting. Ladd was how he may be best fit for just the slot, but he's the best slot guy in the draft and he's just a guy who gets open and doesn't drop the ball. Corley and Leggette are playmakers who are at a risk of being pigeonholed. Leggette is too stiff to be a slot guy but he can do things like Metcalf. Corley is likely to be used much as he was in college, as the big playmaker you just get the ball in his hands however you can, but he's got a lot of room for development as a receiver. It's just good football talk all the way through  
    • I'd resigned myself to 2000 and never.   Cautiously optimistic based on this off season that 2026 is a real possibility.
